Question 4
Use the image below to answer the following.
As time goes on, the mountainous topography is worn down, the stream
valley becomes wider, and the stream begins develops bends. These
characteristics are typical of what are called __________ stage streams.
middle Correct!
Correct!
late early 2 / 2 pts
Question 5
Streams that are steep, v-shaped valley and have a straight channel flow
through mountains are termed __________ stage and exhibit more
__________ erosion.
early, vertical Correct!

Question 6
Use the image below to answer the following.
This stream is in flood and the low topography around it is inundated with
water. Note, however, that you can still see the winding course of the
stream because of the accumulations of sediment that had settled next to
it after previous floods. These sediment deposits, which build up over time
and can become vegetated, are called...
natural levees Correct!
Correct!
rapids terraces backswamps 4 / 4 pts
